The call for applications for the 5th Arqus Teaching Excellence Award is now open!

Arqus is thrilled to announce the launch of the fifth Arqus Teaching Excellence Award contest. This award seeks to recognise educators who exemplify innovation and excellence in their pedagogical practices, fostering a culture of learning that transcends disciplinary boundaries and empowers students from diverse backgrounds to thrive in inclusive, community-based and dynamic learning environments.

In line with our mission to promote collaborative and inclusive education, the Arqus Teaching Excellence Award will honour teaching initiatives and projects that are based on research-informed teaching and learning approaches and that prioritise the integral development and empowerment of students. 

Teaching initiatives and projects implemented from the start of the academic year 2024/2025 will be considered for this award.

A video interview featuring last year’s awardees, Silvia Kober (University of Graz) and Claudia Padovani (University of Padua), is available on the Arqus YouTube channel for those interested in learning more about last year’s winning teaching practices.
